scottieboi94 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 My glanza rear brakes are barely working, would anyone most likely say this is seized calipers? im fitting braided hoses soon to see if this fixes the problem first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aamir Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Handbrake cables most likely mate or seized calipers Aamir Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Johnboy GT Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 My sliders were seized. Worked them off and re-greased them also. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scottieboi94 Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Would it definetly be them or could it be pistons? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rwdrev Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 try your sliders first, and whilst your wheel is off see what movement there is in the hanbrake lever, if it sticks then the cable is sticking. try the sliders before you spend any money Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scottieboi94 Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Ok ill have to tell the garage as i dont touch brakes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
seab Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Sounds like seized calipers, I remember having to replace the raear driver side on my last V. not expensive but as above take the apart rebuild and grease them first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) Use silicone grease on the sliders as normal (petroleum based) grease causes the rubbers to degrade and bind up on slider pins. Edited April 30, 2014 by morgey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
